Subversion Client connection problem

I have set up Subversion on a small business network between two laptops
running XP Pro. When I try to access the repository from using
TortoiseSVN from a remote machine on this network, I get the error
message" Error * Can't connect to host '': No connection could be made
because the target machine actively refused it.".

 

I have double checked the following:

 

You tried to connect to the wrong port.

 

You tried to connect to the wrong destination host address.

 

The server application isn't running on the destination host.

 

The server application isn't listening on the right port.

 

Everything seems to be ok with these issues.

 

The following are the contents of the configuration files:

 

Svnserve.conf

 

### This file controls the configuration of the svnserve daemon, if you

### use it to allow access to this repository. (If you only allow

### access through http: and/or file: URLs, then this file is

### irrelevant.)

 

### Visit http://subversion.tigris.org/ for more information.

 

 [general]

### These options control access to the repository for unauthenticated

### and authenticated users. Valid values are "write", "read",

### and "none". The sample settings below are the defaults.

# anon-access = read

# auth-access = write

### The password-db option controls the location of the password

### database file. Unless you specify a path starting with a /,

### the file's location is relative to the conf directory.

### Uncomment the line below to use the default password file.

# password-db = passwd

### The authz-db option controls the location of the authorization

### rules for path-based access control. Unless you specify a path

### starting with a /, the file's location is relative to the conf

### directory. If you don't specify an authz-db, no path-based access

### control is done.

### Uncomment the line below to use the default authorization file.

authz-db = /Work/svnserve.conf/authz

### This option specifies the authentication realm of the repository.

### If two repositories have the same authentication realm, they should

### have the same password database, and vice versa. The default realm

### is repository's uuid.

# realm = My First Repository

[general]

anon-access=read

auth-access=write

password-db=passwd

 

passwd

[users]

ebritt=9123etb

administrator=Apollo1212

 

 

authz - Work is my repository

# [groups]

# harry_and_sally = harry,sally

 

[/Work]

# harry = rw

* =

 

# [Work:/]

# @harry_and_sally = rw

* = rw

 

I can access the repository without any problem on the machine it
resides on.

 

Any assistance you can provide regarding this problem would be greatly
appreciated.
